Rosie Marcel would ‘kill’ to take part in I’m A Celebrity

Rosie Marcel would "kill" to take part in ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The ‘Holby City’ star is desperate to test her limits in the Australian jungle, and enjoys reading about herself being tipped to join the programme.
The 42-year-old told Inside Soap magazine: "I’m always tipped to be doing it and I think, ‘Ooh, that’s exciting!’
"I know it sounds ridiculous but I’m one of these people who’s had a lot of challenges in life – health-wise and family-wise – but I do like to test myself."
In 2018, ‘The Vice’ star revealed she had undergone talks with show bosses about joining the line up.
She said: "I haven’t had a drink for 19 months and that was pretty fricking tough – and now for some reason – I want to put myself through the jungle. I’d kill to do it."
The ‘Holby City’ star, who was also been a part of its sister show ‘Casualty’, has also opened up about her character Jac Naylor’s big career decision.
She is set to step down as the clinical lead of Darwin in order to spend more quality time with her young daughter, Emma.
The character’s work-life balance is called into question and Jac realises she needs to compromise for her child.
Rosie said: "It’s been coming a long time for Jac. She was shot, her sister died and she had about nine surgeries last year, nearly died twice and was paralysed for a bit.
"Also I think she hasn’t spent a lot of time with her daughter and she hasn’t done a lot of surgery."
According to the actress, Jac’s decision will not be "a short-lived thing".
Discussing how long she plans to stay on the show, she said: "I love it here so much, but I also know that when the right storyline comes along to finish Jac, I’ll take it. Everything comes to an end at some point."
